    Hey Mathster,
    You'll have to let us know how the Lasik goes. I've been thinking about getting it done myself, but have been a little hesitant because if my eyesight gets borked I lose my career. I've heard its pretty standard these days, but wouldn't mind hearing from people who've actually done it.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

    My boss had it done a couple years ago. He said he was back to 20/20 in a couple days. He could see to get around the next day.
    Its pretty routine, but they still tell you what can go wrong such as over correction, under correction, irratation, stuff like that.
    back from hiatus.

    It's much better to find lugnuts with the metal detector before you find them with the mower. e500's nice, what kinda metal detector did you wind up with? you gonna go head out to the beach once n a while, get one of them solid gold jewelry boxes or some pieces of 8?

    I lost the lugs quite a ways back; I mow high enough that the mower won't wank them but it just irks me that I can't find them. The detector is a Bounty Hunter QuickSilver. It's fairly good for it's price range and not too complex to operate.

    Counting the days until we see F1 in a metal detector infomercial on late night TV, showing off the $1000's of dollars worth of jewelery he has found on the beach in Florida.

    At least your mower had lug nuts, mine actually has bent nails in the place of cotter pins to hold the wheels on. It's a 20yr old riding mower that I don't really need, but it backfires and smokes so much that I actually get a kick out of using it to mow my lawn. No real reason I haven't fixed it, except that it's worked for years and if it ain't broke, I'm the last person to fix it.

    My favorite treasure find, although it wasn't with a metal detector, I used a sieve to recover this one for the guy that lost it.. 500 dollar reward was being offered, only got 80 bucks LOL. Before returning it I took it to a jeweler for an apraisal, the jeweler said if it was a real ruby due to the quality and color, something like 13k-15k per karat and such a big stone with a heavy wrapping of 24k gold.
